Can I join a Wiccan coven if I’ve found a problem?
Just because you’ve found a coven doesn’t necessarily mean you are guaranteed acceptance. Coven membership is a two-way street. Wiccan covens do not actively recruit new members, and no matter how uber-witchy you think you may be, if one member of the coven has a problem with you–justified or not–it could keep you from becoming a member.
Do Wiccan groups feel comfortable with you?
They’re not all going to feel comfortable with you. That’s part of life, and it’s part of the seeking process. Some groups may have a dynamic that just doesn’t work for you–if you’re a male Wiccan on a Celtic path, then an all-female Greek Reconstructionist group is not the place for you.
